I cannot find a tutorial on here or on the web of how to append to the open file in acrobat. I wish to print a page from one program switch to another and print page 2 and have it append and so on for about 50-100 pages. All teh advice is to Merge files which are already saved but this is far too slow and can lead to errors in page order in rebuilding the report after writing all the files.
 
I look forward to any advice to point me in the right direction.
 
Many thanks,
 
Simon.

You can't - Distiller (the print service Acrobat uses) does not support appending to existing files.

The advice you've found so far is correct - you should create your PDF files individually, and then use the various methods in Acrobat to assemble them - for example you can drag and drop thumbnails from the pages navigation bar, use Tools > Pages > Insert from file, or the mini-tools menu on the pages navigation bar.

Many thanks, this is disapointing as I expected more functionality but saves my continued search, I will go back to Broadgun and hopefully Adobe will develop in the future.
